Chose LocaliQ
We piloted a handful of other agencies at different locations, and never had good results...often having really bad results. One agency responsible for a new launch ended up targeting all of our ads to India...the academy was in Indiana. We switched back to LocaliQ at the very …
Chose LocaliQ
LocaliQ is more economical that marketing agencies we've used in the past. Our dollar goes farther. We've also used services from phonebook providers that were getting into the online advertising field. At the time, it was just being introduced so the reps knowledge on the …
Chose LocaliQ
Those platforms are self-served, and I have no time to dedicated to just get to the bottom of each one of them.
Chose LocaliQ
I have always used Local IQ and have been so satisfied I have never shopped around for another product.
Chose LocaliQ
LocaliQ was chosen for its comprehensive marketing capabilities, combining localized targeting, digital and print ads, and automated optimizations. While other platforms excel in specialized areas, LocaliQ provided a well-rounded solution tailored to our company goals of …
Chose LocaliQ
We chose LocaliQ above a few other sites because they appeared to be the most professional and have the most knowledgable team. They worked with other businesses in our industry and we felt comfortable experimenting with their services. They provided a professional presentation …

I have investigated national services like American Eagle and also small market locally owned business like Red Shoes.
Each year, I look into at least one other service provider to evaluate our service value. So far, no other company has come close to providing an all around …
Chose LocaliQ
Many of my clients have dabbled in Google Adwords then realize they don't want to handle this themselves.
Chose LocaliQ
We had not used other products prior to our use of LocaliQ products.
Chose LocaliQ
I did not investigate other platforms. My org has had a relationship with LocaliQ prior to my arrival, so I continued that partnership. I guess it's worth adding, we comparison shopped with two other local agencies but the pricing was much better with LocaliQ.
Chose LocaliQ
I prefer the personal relationships that have developed over the years working with LocaliQ. I like that I have a contact person that I can communicate with directly as opposed to a chat or support ticket.
Chose LocaliQ
It was a disaster of a launch, and we quickly ended it. I hope it has got better, and we will, at some point, start a new chatbot with one of our existing relationships.
Chose LocaliQ
Wix was very do it yourself. LocaliQ is done for you.
Chose LocaliQ
When we review different companies to use for the next year, LocaliQ always stands out against the rest due to the amount we get for the amount of money we spend.
Chose LocaliQ
I have not used other products as the last marketing company did not review our information with us.
Chose LocaliQ
Tried a couple of other marketing companies, none of which can compare to LocaliQ in terms of capabilities and results.
Chose LocaliQ
  1. ReachLocal is relatively cost-effective when compared with HubSpot
  2. It has all the must-have services for your website and campaign management
Chose LocaliQ
I haven't used any competitors listed, but I am familiar with GTMA and have worked with them. Their advertising strategies have been more robust, and I prefer their Google ads and Facebook ads methods over ReachLocals. I like ReachLocals basic report functionality over GTMA's. …
Chose LocaliQ
I have only used website developers in the past and haven't used any marketing companies.
Chose LocaliQ
We used Demandforce prior to moving to ThriveHive. I believe that ThriveHive is just a better overall value in terms of pricing, services and of course the personal guidance you get by having a dedicated coach.
Chose LocaliQ
ThriveHive offered the most features at the best price when I set up my site. The ongoing support is great as well.
Chose LocaliQ
While WordPress provides you with the opportunity to build a custom website, it stops there. ThriveHive has a strong small business marketing suite of products that are integrated into a WordPress-based website while also making it easy for the user to make quick and easy edits …

LocaliQ is well-suited, in our experience, for B2B marketing and, specifically, hyper-targeted and personalized marketing efforts. The geofencing capability is excellent at helping us deliver messages literally to the doorsteps of our target prospects. The proprietary software they use for this targeting is worth the money, and their reps, specifically Nikki Rowell and Sarah Pena, are fantastic and delightful people to work with. The only scenario that was slightly underwhelming was LinkedIn. Their tools don't deliver any additional value to LinkedIn ad campaigns, so it's not worth paying LocaliQ to run these campaigns; we can run them ourselves, which doesn't require much effort. That is just a small downside. We are extremely pleased with LocaliQ and their whole team.

Cons
  • I think the pricing could be a little more competitive
Read full review
  • The email content editor could use some additional bells and whistles, it cannot handle some more advanced functions, but for the basics it is more than adequate.
  • Options for website creation are a bit limited and the turnaround time can be a bit lengthy at times because of the volume they do.
  • Tracked phone lines can be a bit pricey, but not exorbitant.

Usability
Since I deployed this solution end to end for my organisation, I would speak from my experience that since I was a newbie to this platform I took ample support from their team, their training resources. However, the product's UI/UX was simply very intuitive that it helped me to get a lot of hand-on practice on the product well. This helped me with the timely deployment of this solution.
Read full review
Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

  • Local print advertising enhanced our community presence and strengthened brand loyalty.
  • The automation of PPC and display campaigns has saved our marketing team at least 15-20 hours per week of work monitoring campaigns.
  • Service fees feel steep for the campaigns we run, especially for a business with constrained budgets.
